Coronavirus & Measures at BASF

What actions does BASF take?

Globally, BASF is conducting research on innovative cathode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries that make electromobility a reality. The cathode materials usually consist of mixed metal oxides. In the first step of the synthesis, various metal salts are precipitated using sodium hydroxide. Physical laboratory technician Joerg Mai (left) and chemist Dr. Daniela Pfister (right) examines a sample of metal hydroxides and discuss the next steps: The particle size distribution of the sample is determined using analytical methods. This parameter influences essential properties of the end product.

Chemistry for a sustainable future

Climate protection is a central component of the BASF strategy. For many years, the company has been continuously reducing its CO2 emissions. For further significant reduction innovative processes, such as the synthesis gas direct conversion for the synthesis of olefins, our research is developing. Olefins are intermediate substances, for the production of cleaning materials, aroma chemicals or superabsorbents. New process technologies and catalysts can reduce the carbon footprint of olefin production by up to 50 percent. Heiner Riede, lab assistant, weighs the new catalyst that makes the synthesis gas direct conversion.

Carbon Management

Ambitious climate goals require ambitious plans and innovative technologies.
